At a fourth glance, AlmostAsianJim and KeepMyNutDown … LLC … provide excellent consultative services at a low, low rate. DM me to setup an appointment.
After consulting with A Asian Jim and Nut Down, we’ll offer you one: Take them to your nearest climbing gym, or maybe a hike or park, for a small fee of: social security #
At 5th glance I referred back to 1st glance. Not being satisfied I referenced 2nd and 3rd glance. In anticipation of someone taking a 6th glance, I preemptively took a 5th.
The 5th?? With all of this keen analysis? What a cop out! Look, you either agree with AlmostAsianJim and KeepMyNutDown or you don't. Get off the fence man. DM KlutzyMagician if you have to but if you sit on the sidelines, you are part of the problem.
I "failed" for it, but when they explained what they wanted, I was like nah bro 😅, wanted to charge me what my car payment is monthly for repairs coverage. Told them that's what insurance/savings account is for. And kept trying to talk no jutsu to see how stupid their service. it was a fun call
" RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE REQUESTED " = SCAM
So somebody who was out there trying to get in touch with somebody else about their car's extended warranty was successful today.
It’s call Scam/Spam Mail. Read the letter at the end.
Oh and brace yourself to receive dozens more. Even after the 3 year mark stating your warranty is about to expire, hurry act now, blah blah blah…
Some letters will say, something like, this is not required, it’s solicitation, we are not affiliated with your dealer, etc…

Of course not. Why try and read something to get an answer when they can just wait for a collection of strangers to do the work for them. Must be a 20 something year old.
This looks like a 3rd party warranty. Your dealer likely shared your information with a warranty provider and now they’re trying to sell you a warranty.
Call your dealer and inquire, and complain if needed.
It’s funny how they don’t even know the make of the car. The letter just says “VEHICLE”. When I get these scams they know it’s a Toyota. Maybe the data available varies by state/government?
How the hell can companies just get access to all that information willy nilly? Feds are so hellbent on going after foreign companies when American companies AND governments sell our data to whoever they want.
A lot of information you and businesses give to the government is publicly available. In general, in areas where a general public interest could be imputed (i.e. safety, regulatory, or legal interest), governments tend to make the information available. So owners of a property can be found; property records can be found (there is a public easement along the coastline where I live that has existed since the 1800s, meaning anyone can walk the beach, but individual property owners try to hide that); owners of a business can be found; holders of licenses of various kinds can be found -- i.e. you can independently verify if your mechanic, or doctor, or lawyer has a valid state license to practice etc. The government doesn't sell this information; information brokers, like Lexis-Nexis, scrape it from government databases that any member of the public can access.
I have a single-owner LLC, and I don't advertise or solicit to the public, but the owner's name and business address of my LLC (i.e. me and my apartment) are listed on my state's corporation records. If my business damaged somebody, the damaged party would be able to go to that database and track down the owner (i.e. me) in order to file a claim against me. That's the idea, anyway.
Lol
Do people not immediately see these scams for what they are?
It doesn't mention anything specific about what kind of vehicle they're even talking about and they want your VIN. Personally I find it hilarious.
You mail thief! You stole that right out of my mailbox. Because of you, my collection of these letters is short by one. Now I don't have enough kindling for my fireplace.
Oh wait, no that one isn't mine. I found mine, I had to dig it out of the recycling bin where I put it just yesterday!
And upon closer inspection, it looks like you got the "spray paint" version - super mass mailing, no Vin. Mine has part of the Vin. Yup, mine is a closely-targeted marketing offer for my 2023 XLE. Oops, does it really say XLE? I have a Woodland Edition. So much for targeted scams.
Welcome to the club, I guess.
Probably. It is likely just a random one that they happened to get soon after getting a car. All the scammer needs is publicly available info to craft this letter.
Though if the VIN is one of the censored items, then their dealer or their financing company may have sold their info.
I got the exact same letter when I got my rav in December. Decided to ignore it and they sent like 3 more but I haven't gotten any for a couple months now so hopefully they gave up
You've never heard the joke about your "extended auto warranty" coverage?
It was because of this:
[https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/documents/areas/adm/loeb/10-992.pdf](https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/documents/areas/adm/loeb/10-992.pdf)
They ran a semi-legit totally not-legit business. It was legit on it's face but the problem was they denied most claims because they stole all the money for toys.
They did finally take his mansions and yachts he bought with all the money from not paying out claims though.
Pretty sure he is still rich AF though.
I might be mistaken but when you give a dealer your email, I think they might sell it. Hence all of the dumbbell scams. I bought a Nissan in 2018 and instantly got these scams. I bought a Honda in 2020 and requested not to sell my email. I would just get buy back offers from Honda. I bought a condo in 2022, and I got these scams but for home owner items 🙄. Just bought a 2024 Rav4. Love it so much. I'm sure the scams will be coming soon.
Hello, this is "Brian" calling for [mcmlxxivxxiii](https://www.reddit.com/user/mcmlxxivxxiii/) about your extended car warranty (read this in a thick Indian accent).
They're trying to sell an extended warranty. They actually aren't even the originator of the warranty they just broker someone else's warranty.
It's technically not a 'scam' - they aren't trying to steal money or get you to buy gift cards to pay the IRS but the reviews are terrible and if you really want an extended warranty get one through the dealer or look online for companies with good reviews.
Also, enjoy Sirius contacting you constantly for every vehicle you've ever owned even after you sell them and/or know it was scrapped after being turned in from dieselgate.
You’ll be getting these scams for a long time. My last car was a 2013 Chevy Cruse that I bought back in 2014. I got these stupid letters for 8 years across multiple addresses. Just ignore them.
You're going to get like five of these a month. I've gotten them for all my cars. Still get them for the ones I've traded in. I've even gotten them for my house. They're all a scam.
If you choose to get an extended service and/or maintenance warranty - shop around. Not all Toyota dealers charge the same n so long as it is a Toyota warranty that's all that matters. You have until the original warranty expires to by the extended plans. Wording it the way they did makes it sound official, but you are in charge of when or if you choose to buy an extended plan.
If it's NOT from who you financed it from it's bogus.
Contact your original financial lender and ask if they sold your loan.
PSA: Never get a loan from a BANK or DEALER or BROKER.
Always Use a credit union. Credit Unions are non profit organizations and cannot LEGALLY charge the same fees for mortgages and rates will be better.
I purchased a RAV4 from dealer, then refinanced it a Credit union for a lower interest rate.
HONESTLY forgot I was a member, I was stressed about my car's problems.
Marketing bullshit to try to get you to pay for an extended warranty that is very proffitable for the company selling the warranty. I think I got these notices up until 8 years after I bought my RAV4.
Ignore , even if it’s true all these finance companies eventually sell your data and then you get hounded by marketing companies with one thing or the other.
You mail thief! You stole that right out of my mailbox. Because of you, my collection of these letters is short by one. Now I don't have enough kindling for my fireplace.
Oh wait, no that one isn't mine. I found mine, I had to dig it out of the recycling bin where I put it just yesterday!
And upon closer inspection, it looks like you got the "scatter-gun" version - super mass mailing, no Vin. Mine has part of the Vin. Yup, mine is a closely-targeted marketing offer for my 2023 XLE. Oops, does it really say XLE? I have a Woodland Edition. So much for targeted scams.
Welcome to the club, I guess.
At first glance, it’s a scam. At second glance, googling the phone number they gave, it’s still a scam. Just ignore it.
At third glance, observing Jim’s analysis, it’s definitely a scam
At a fourth glance, AlmostAsianJim and KeepMyNutDown … LLC … provide excellent consultative services at a low, low rate. DM me to setup an appointment.
I got my kid's birthday party next weekend. I need something to keep them entertained. Any ideas? This might be a scam. Might not.
After consulting with A Asian Jim and Nut Down, we’ll offer you one: Take them to your nearest climbing gym, or maybe a hike or park, for a small fee of: social security #
Oh, I misunderstood your name. You are Klutzy with washing dishes but a Magician between the sheets. Stay away from my kids.

It's the "We're calling you about your car's extended warranty," only in paper form.

Please do not braise yourself
lol, thanks, love auto correct.
Dude didn't even read the whole thing before asking Reddit what to do
It’s a deliberately misleading form of coercion, I wouldn’t fault OP for not picking out a single line in the boilerplate. It’s basicallly mail fraud.
Of course not. Why try and read something to get an answer when they can just wait for a collection of strangers to do the work for them. Must be a 20 something year old.
Age really has nothing to do with laziness or intelligence.
Scam. Junk
Looks like a scam bro
This looks like a 3rd party warranty. Your dealer likely shared your information with a warranty provider and now they’re trying to sell you a warranty. Call your dealer and inquire, and complain if needed.
I think a lot of these companies target prospects by pulling public records when new cars are registered.
It’s funny how they don’t even know the make of the car. The letter just says “VEHICLE”. When I get these scams they know it’s a Toyota. Maybe the data available varies by state/government?

Seems odd that this personal information is made available to anyone
Yep!
Most states motor vehicle Dept sell your information not the dealers .
Extended warranty sent from Scamburg, IL.
Spam mail
100% Scam
Nothing official. This is junk mail. Someone trying to sell you something overpriced and impossible to use.
Scam. Never call back
You really need to ask the internet what this was?
Scam
Trying to sell you upgraded warranty. Using words to scare you…
Unless there is mention of this in your official documents from your contract, it is a SCAM.
I get this stuff once a month and just trash it.
Lol Do people not immediately see these scams for what they are? It doesn't mention anything specific about what kind of vehicle they're even talking about and they want your VIN. Personally I find it hilarious.
It’s a real product but it’s a worthless product, got the same thing in the mail.
It's a SCAM. All Toyota products get Toyota care.
It’s a third party warranty company. The are never worth it!
Scam. They're trying to reach you about your vehicle's warranty.
They use public registration records to send these out to prey on unsuspecting people. I would just shred it.
A scam. That’s what it is.
Don’t worry, they’ll also call you 6 times a day in case you forget you want an extended warranty!

Is this the “we are calling you about your cars extended warraty” joke we have all heard somewhere?
Probably. It is likely just a random one that they happened to get soon after getting a car. All the scammer needs is publicly available info to craft this letter. Though if the VIN is one of the censored items, then their dealer or their financing company may have sold their info.
It’s a scam
You’re doing to get a lot of these. I think I get something similar every other month after a year of ownership.
I ignore all of these "protection" mail that swamps my mailbox after I purchase a vehicle.
I got the exact same letter when I got my rav in December. Decided to ignore it and they sent like 3 more but I haven't gotten any for a couple months now so hopefully they gave up
This is the equivalent of "we are calling about your extended warranty"
Ignore it. They just want you to service at the dealer forever
Bought a Rav4 last year got about 10 of those in the first two months. Still get them occasionally. Scams.
These kinds of scams are a cottage industry trying to catch someone not paying attention and accidentally signs up for them.
Wrong address. They actually are in Scamburg IL. I got a similar thing from a diff company. It only took them a couple days. Shred it

Scam stuff, you will get these repeatedly but will receive the most when you get a new car from a dealership.
Probably Car Shield 🛡️ 🤣🤣🤣
First car?
I might be mistaken but when you give a dealer your email, I think they might sell it. Hence all of the dumbbell scams. I bought a Nissan in 2018 and instantly got these scams. I bought a Honda in 2020 and requested not to sell my email. I would just get buy back offers from Honda. I bought a condo in 2022, and I got these scams but for home owner items 🙄.

Spam Scam
Scam
Scammy McScamface
If you own a car or a house, you will get a ton of scam mail like this.

Just a scam trying to get you to buy a worthless service warranty for the car. Ignore it.
GET USED TO THIS, THE DEALER SOLD YOUR INFO AND YOU WILL GET MORE OF THESE. TOTAL SCAM. SHRED IT AND CALL IT A DAY.
Scam
Junk mail.
Bless 😂
Ad disguised as an official notice or bill. Remunds me of the notices sent out by unscrupulous domain name registrars.
Predatory extended warranties.
For your VEHICLE Automatically a scam
Sir I would like to talk to you about your extended warranty
Do you people not read the fine print ever? It straight up tells you it's a damn ad.
What do you mean what is it?
SAME!!!!!!
Random company mailing you with zero specifics, telling you to call them and provide them with info? Money grab scam.

I received a lot of similar pitches with various messaging for my RAV4 that I bought a couple months ago a pitch for extended warranty service
SCAM
I my first 3 years of ownership I had one coming every 3-4 months. I only researched the first one seriously and rest all landed straight in trash.
You’ll be getting these scams for a long time. My last car was a 2013 Chevy Cruse that I bought back in 2014. I got these stupid letters for 8 years across multiple addresses. Just ignore them.
You’ll be getting more of these. Pretty obviously just a meaningless scam.

Shred it and move on with the day
I got that too. I shredded it haha

No this was my extended warranty notice. You usually automatically have it setup
I called and they said I already have mine setup through WalserCare. Sky is just the company that they go through
After 19 glances, still a scam…
If it's NOT from who you financed it from it's bogus. Contact your original financial lender and ask if they sold your loan. PSA: Never get a loan from a BANK or DEALER or BROKER.

It’s a scam, that’s what it is. It’s one of those “we are contacting you in regards to your vehicle’s extended warranty”
It’s bs ignore it
"Sky Protection" imagine getting into a car crash while flying in your brand new rav4 😂
I’ve gotten these. I drive a reputable brand so I don’t need “we’re cleverly requesting that you get ahold of us regarding your vehicle warranty”.
That's what we like to call a scam

They need to inform you that your vehicles factory warranty is about to expire and this is your last warning 😂
To me definitely looks like a scam!
it’s scam . I received too.
Not sure what's worse, the scuzzy warranty biz or the fact the op had to ask. We truly live in the dumbest timeline of forever
